Whelen Engineering Company Inner Edge XLP Installation Manual page 2

IMPORTANT! The lightbar should be a minimum of 16" from radio antennas!
When routing wires, choose a path that will keep wires away from excessive
heat or any vehicle equipment that could damage the wires.
Installation / Standard:
NOTE: An Explorer mounting bracket is
shown here. The bracket for your vehicle
may be shaped differently but the basic
shape and mounting will be the same.

the visor clip removed in step 2 and remount the visor clip in its original location
using the original hardware (Fig. 1).
5. Firmly tighten any hardware loosened in this procedure.
6. Repeat this procedure for the driver-side assembly.
7. When properly mounted, the rubber seal will be in full contact with the vehicle
windshield and roof. This is to prevent light output from entering the passenger
compartment. When this has been achieved, tighten mounting hardware firmly.

Operation:
8-conductor cable. All functions listed here may not be present in all lightbars.
WHITE/GREEN - Scan-Lock™
The WHT/GRN wire allows you to choose from a variety of flash patterns. A
light must be activated to change the pattern.
TO CYCLE THROUGH ALL PATTERNS: To cycle forward apply +12 VDC to the
WHT/GRN wire for less than 1 second and release. To cycle backward apply +12
VDC to the WHT/GRN wire for more than 1 second and release.
TO SET A PATTERN AS DEFAULT: When the pattern is displayed, allow it to run for
more than 5 seconds. The lighthead will now display this pattern when active.
TO RESET TO THE FACTORY DEFAULT PATTERN: Turn off power and apply +12
VDC to the WHT/GRN wire while turning power on.
A normally open momentary switch is best suited for Scan-Lock operation.
BLUE: Flash 1
Apply +12 VDC to the BLUE wire to activate the warning lights. Fuse wire @ 1 Amp.
BROWN: Hi/Low Power
This feature allows you to run the lightbar in low power for night time use. Fuse wire
@ 1 Amp. A single pole / single throw switch can be used to control Hi/Low power.
To activate Low power: Apply +12 VDC to the BRN wire. To restore regular
power: Remove the BRN wire from +12 VDC.
WHITE/BLACK: Take-Downs
Apply +12 VDC to the WHT/BLK wire to activate the take-downs. Fuse this wire @ 1
Amp. 5 light models only.
WHITE/ORANGE: Flashing Take-Down
Apply +12VDC to the WHT/ORG wire to activate flashing take-down mode. Fuse this
wire @ 1 Amp. Note: The WHT/BLK wire overrides this display. 5 light models.
ORANGE: California Steady
Apply +12 VDC to the ORG wire to activate lightheads using the California Steady
pattern table (next page). Refer to the following page for lighthead identification.
Fuse wire @ 1 Amp. NOTE: Due to firmware requirements, there are several
'null' patterns (no lighthead active) that precede Pattern 1. Repeated Scan-
